My favorite bit, which I assume is tongue-in-cheek:
The Giants would become overnight favorites to win the NL West with Ramirez and the pitching staff they have already assembled.
As for the Dodgers, no worries, they would still have Juan Pierre to fill Ramirez's shoes in left field.
Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks according to a new study published by the Centers for Disease Control's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. This was basically a case-control study, comparing heart attack rates in Pueblo, CO to two control sites (Pueblo County outside the city limits; and El Paso County, which includes Colorado Springs).

2 years, $17.5M, reportedly, with options and stuff, plus they give up a first-round pick to Colorado. Last year, league average ERA for a relief pitcher was 4.09. Marcel the Monkey projects Fuentes to have a 3.69 FIP next year. Probably an overpay, but there's plenty of upside.
Even though Joe C bothers with errors and fielding percentage, I give him a bunch of credit for pointing this out and at least throwing some RZR/OOZ in there.

BTW, while I haven't commented until today, I've been digging classical week. And it got me thinking. Some of the best composers around these days work for Hollywood. How about a movie theme week? Not pop stuff from soundtracks, but actual themes and scores from guys like John Barry, John Williams, Howard Shore, James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman, Maurice Jarre, etc. Finding clips might be kind of difficult, but I'd be happy to help research them. Maybe something you could do around Oscars time.

oh, yea....

twayn, you might want to check out http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com sometime. I've been streaming it for years, and have had a lot of exposure to composers of all ilk. You could have also mentioned Ennio Morricone, Joe Hisaishi (one of my favorites), Tan Dun, Basil Poledaris, and a number of great foreign ST composers, too. In addition, the brothers that make up E.S. Posthumus have gained big fame there as the composers of music used in many movie trailers (and whose track Nara was used as the theme for Cold Case).

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out over the weekend. Morricone is great, I've loved his stuff for year. Poledouris, too, I have the theme from Lonesome Dove on my mp3 player. And I didn't intend for my list to be exhaustive, I just started tossing out names off the top of my head.
Rhubarb_Runner replied on September 12, 2008 at 2:29:33 pm
Pretty good list you threw out, too.

No list of great film composers is complete without Bernard Herrmann. Best known for his collaborations with Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock, he also worked with directors such as François Truffaut, Brian DePalma and Martin Scorsese. A short list of his ST work includes the original radio broadcast for War of The Worlds and Citizen Kane, with Welles; and North By Northwest, Veritgo, and perhaps most memorably Psycho, with Hitchcock. Even though he's been dead for over 30 years, that didn't stop Quentin Tarantino from using his music in his Kill Bill.
A living composer who's done very interesting work for film is Philip Glass: Koyaanisqatsi (an amazing film, by the by), Thin Blue Line, Kundun, The Hours, The Illusionist,, and Fog of War. While some people actively dislike a Glass score, I think they've always been integral to my appreciation of the films they grace.

Let's not forget Danny Elfman.

And one of Danny Elfman's biggest influences? Bernard Herrmann.

that explains a lot about his films, I guess
